  • I love Cracked.com

    They've made me laugh many times, but I've never seen one that outlines how I feel sometimes until today.

    It's a list of 8 small things including a stranger's hug, a puppy's lick, or a song on the radio that has prevented people from ending their own lives.
    I have a...thing. Wanna see it?

    It's a wonderful article. The link should be posted all over the net. There are so many people who could benefit from reading it.

      Good stories. But I am reminded of people who use the threat of suicide to get what they want, or do it to get attention/act-out/etc. The people who aren't serious about it, but see it as a way to mess with other people. Grrrr.

          Unfortunately that is how I have appeared in the past when I have been suicidal-that is, I've acted out, or used it for attention. I haven't intentionally done it with those aims however, I have seriously wanted to die before. I now have something to live for.

          Amazing article though.

              I didn't know about number 3. Kind of neat with that.

                ... no wonder captchas are obscure, difficult to read, and generally a pain in my ass. >_> neat crowd-sourcing, I say!

                  Okay, the captchas is pretty cool, but one thing doesn't make sense to me.. If you are translating words for the computer - how does the computer know when you put the wrong thing?

                    I suspect it compiles results from many people and chooses the most common returned result.

                        Do not read with the light off... and unless you (like me) have a strong stomach, do not click on the link for the suicide forest blog!
